Ground Chicken Bowl

This is a healthier version of the Chinese ground pork rice bowl, but with ground chicken. Ground chicken is lower in fat and higher in protein. The vegetables you can use in this dish are quite versatile. Bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, green beans, peas, cabbage, etc, are all great substitutes.
